[Your Library] Order/sort albums by release date/year

Now that the original release year should be available please add an option to the new album view to use it for sorting.

 

 

there could be options for at least:

"SORTED BY ARTIST / YEAR"

"SORTED BY ARTIST / TITLE"

"SORTED BY YEAR"

 

There could be some kind of subtle separator where the artist changes when listing the album covers. Also the release year should be shown in the album images.

it's baffling how this is not a thing yet, I remember reading this post back in 2018. Especially when spotify has been discouraging users from using playlists to use this Library feature instead...

I really doubt it is that hard to implement.

Agreed.  It's not.

 

```

function compareReleaseDate(date1, date2) {

    return date1 - date2;

}

 

albums.sort((album1, album2) => (
    return album1.artist.localeCompare(album2.artist)
        || compareReleaseDate(album1.releaseDate, album2.releaseDate)

))

```

Maybe they gonna put this feature behind the extra tier with lossless audio and other stuff.

Back on this one.

 

There's a drop down menu to Sort By: Recents, Recently Added, Alphabetical, Creator. 

 

Please just add Release Date, Created Date

 

If other companies can do it, surely Spotify can implement this request from a decade ago.

Definitely with the recent addition of pre-releases in the albums pane, I think it would be extra useful to have a sort by release date so that we can see all upcoming unreleased albums first in the list.
